'V'ULCANIZER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 12, 1921.

Application filed September 11, 1920. Serial No. 409,528.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WINSTON R. YOUNGEB, of Alexandria, in the parish of Rapides and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vulcanizers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in vulcanizers and has for its object to provide a device of the character specified, which may be attached to the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine, as for instance, that of a motor vehicle to support the vulcanizer in position for use, and to heat the vulcanizer by the heat of the exhaust gases.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side view of the portion of the internal combustion engine with the vulcanizer in place.

Fig. 2 is an end view of the vulcanizer.

In the present embodiment of the invention as shown in connection with the exhaust pipe should be an internal combustion engine 2, of usual construction, the improved vulcanizer being clamped in place on the exhaust pipe in such a manner that the vulcanizer will be supported in position for use, and will be heated by the exhaust gases in the exhaust pipe.

The invention comprises a base 3 of metal, the said base being right triangular as shown and having at the large end thereof a notch or recess 4 for receiving the exhaust pipe 1 to the engine. This notch or recess is shaped to fit over the exhaust pipe, and a screw 5 is threaded through the base into engagement with the pipe, to clamp the base to the pipe.

Referring to Fig. 2 it will be seen that the base is right triangular in form, the long side of the base forming the angle surface of the vulcanizer, the short side forming one end, and the hypotenuse being dormant. The notch or recess 4 extends from'the hypotenuse side at the short end of the base and the hypotenuse side of the base has a notch or recess 6 for receiving the head of the screw 5.

A curved arm 7 is secured to the large end of the base,the said arm having a foot resting above the recess and secured thereto in any suitable manner and the front arm overhangs the upper face of the base, a screw 8 is threaded through the arm at'its fixed end and this screw is provided at its upper end with a screw head 9 forming a handle and at its lower end with a circular or disk shaped head 10.

The movable member or jaw of the vulcanizer indicated at 11 is provided with a central screw 12 in its upper base in which is received the disk or head 10, holding strips or plates 13 are provided for holding the head in recess. secured to the movable member 11 by means of screws 14 or the like, and they extend from the head 10. The arrangement is such that the head may rotate with respect to the movable member and the movable member must move with the screw toward and from the base.

In use, the base is secured to the exhaust pipe, by placing the base over the pipe with the pipe in the notch 4, after which the The strips or plates are screw 5 is tightened. The work is placed between the fixed jaw or base 3, and the movable jaw or member 11 is clamped in place by turning the screw 8 in the proper direction. It will be evident that the vulcanizer will soon become heated by the passage of the exhaust gases, and the article held between the jaws will be vulcanized.

I claim:

1. A device of the character specified, comprising a base of heat conducting material having at one end a notch or recess for receiving the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine, means for clamping the pipe in the recess, an arm connected to that end of the base adjacent to the notch or recess and overlying at its front end the base at the opposite end, said base forming the fixed jaw of the vulcanizer, a screw threaded through the overhanging portion of the arm, a movable jaw rotatably connected with ghe screw to be moved toward and from the ase.

2. A device of the character specified, comprising a base, an arm secured to the base and having a portion extended approximately parallel therewith, a screw threaded through the arm, a movable member rotatably connected with the screw, a means for clamping the base on the exhaust pipe of an exhaust combustion engine, said base being of heat conducting material.

'3. A. device of the character specified,

5 comprising a base of heat flcdndiictingiinaterial having means for clamping the same to the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine, an arm'extendingfrdm the base s'ub' stantially parallel therewith and spaced apart therefrom, a screw threaded through 10 the arm, and a movable member rotatably connected with the screw-and cotiperating with the base foraclamping the article'to be .vulcanized between the same and the base.
